try this: http://www.fz6-forum.com/forum/fz6-mods/6858-clip-ons-triple-clamps-3.html#post81920 As far as I know f4 bars are very similar but with less rise. They will fit the tubes (43mm) but I dont know how they do with the tank/fairing space restriction. unfortunately, this is all I found...

The resistor causes a voltage drop. LED's only work on a very specific voltage range... too little and theyre worthlessly dim, too much and you fry them. In lieu (sp?) of the voltage drop, the resistor must dissipate the energy (current) flowing through it (since energy is neither created nor...

I agree with you; I understand the angle of the fork never changes in relation to the bike but the angle in relation to the road changes and thats what matters when talking about handling.

Actually, I already polished my wheels since my last wheel thread. I wanted to see what would happen to them if I didnt clear cloat them and, as it turns out, nothing. They still look shiny and mirror like. I dont know if the clamp will stay that way, I may have to eventually clear it or...

The ones I got were 97-98 model. I knew that the forks were 43mm in diameter for that year and I looked at the picture to estimate the rise. Now that theyre on the bike, I'm not so sure that the rise even matters. Maybe someone can back me up or correct me on this (defyinertia, hellgate?). If...

Thank you for the math! :thumbup: I love trig. So, from what youre saying, I can derive that the rake angle will decrease and the angle in relation to the road will increase as I move the forks up in the triple. What I dont get is how the bike would become unstable if the rake angle was...

I actually painted it on my back porch. I used this: Yamaha 0918 Deep Red Metallic K (DRMK) - ColorRite and this: 1253 Base - ColorRite and about 4 coats of exterior all weather gloss urethane. you can get it at Lowe's for about 7 or 8 bucks a can. The red is a pretty close...

This is on the center stand:

I don't know if I would necessarily notice anything. I did that right after I got the bike, primarily because I think it sits up to high in the front. I love the naked look, I just want it to be slightly more aggressive looking. But, the reason I don't notice is because I adjust myself...

Thank you! I don't know why I thought he was talking about the clamp trees.:banghead: Really? I flipped back and forth on two stock pictures and it looked like the fairing (in relation to the gas tank at least) was a little bit lower than the 04. Oh well, maybe thats why the 04's look...

I think the fairing is slightly lower. I also lowered the front of the bike about 1-5/8" by sliding the forks up in the clamps. What did you mean by "nubs" on the clipons?

Looks primarily, I got so tired of seeing those things sticking up and serving no purpose. I guess technically it knocks off about 1/3 lb. of metal.;)

From powerpartsplus.com it appears to be $90, which is pretty low sounding, but the problem would be getting the key switch thingy off of the old one and onto the new one. You would have to cut off the headless bolts... maybe a dealer job? Thank you, for the compliments! :rockon:

Thats basically it, I thought about using bondo on the holes and then painting it back that glittery color but I decided it doesnt look that bad as it is... for my taste. Total project time: four hours.

I've been driving around with clip-ons and that unsightly handlebar clamp now for a couple of months and finally decided the clamp had to go. Hellgate has a thread on his clip-ons and triple and he got a custom made triple for a steal. I highly recommend going this route if you have the means...

ive also been looking for conversion kits but everything thats under $500 is "for offroad use only", i.e. the headlight bulbs are like 20 watts instead of 55.

clamp pictures for vegas::thumbup:

"Change we can believe in" .... that is thoroughly meaningless. He is the most left wing person in the Senate. I may not agree with McCain on all points but if Obama gets voted in, you can mark it down, this country will not last.

+1 How could you?:confused:

Cant help with the speedo but read this entire thread on the headlight mod. It's extremely informative, especially Fred's contributions and I have employeed it for use on my bike...
